A Gift Card Holder with A Twist

Gift Cards are a safe choice when you don't know the recipient very well. At the same time they do not have to be impersonal. Embellish the gift card with careful presentation and by including something they will remember you by...for example a high quality business card holder. My favorite is by www.lodis.com. They are made with fine Italian leather and are styled in an understated or fun and chic way.

An Executive Picnic

I love the picnic basket. The one featured is higher end, however, you can scale it down to any price point. Whether they are urbanites, country lovers or suburbanites they will find a use for it. If you're feeling generous fill it with some favorite goodies!  My next blog will feature our best and worst picks. Stay tuned!

A Chic and Original Travel Gift

Another trendsetting Reisenthel bag. What do you give the consummate traveler? Another toiletry bag? Passport organizer? How about this sleek, unisex airbelt bag. The most striking feature is the front buckle. It is an actual aircraft seat buckle and strap, not a reproduction. In order to obtain these, the company actually had to purchase the entire seat! Whether used as a tote, a purse or briefcase. It's well made and versatile. Definitely a stylish, lasting gift which retails for as low as $80.00 on Amazon!
